Infertility IVF Subsidy 3.0: Key Highlights of the Latest Program
Starting November 1, 2025, the government is launching the upgraded “IVF Subsidy 3.0.” Compared to the previous version, it offers higher subsidy amounts and more supportive policies.
(1) Earlier Use, Higher Support
Under 39 years old (first application): Up to NTD 150,000
39 to under 45 years old (first application): Up to NTD 130,000
(2) Continued Support if the First Attempt Is Unsuccessful
Under 39 years old: For the 2nd and 3rd treatment cycles of each pregnancy, up to NTD 100,000 per cycle
39 to under 45 years old: For the 2nd and 3rd treatment cycles of each pregnancy, up to NTD 80,000 per cycle
(3) Support for Multiple Children
Not limited to the first child.
For the 2nd and 3rd child, subsidy amounts follow the same structure as the first child.
Example:
If under 39 years old, the subsidy for the first treatment cycle of the second child has increased from NTD 100,000 to up to NTD 150,000.
(4) One Embryo per Cycle for Safer Pregnancies
Under 39 years old: Maximum of 1 embryo per transfer
39 to under 45 years old: Maximum of 2 embryos per transfer
Three Fertility Support Programs: Medical Fertility Preservation Subsidy (Starting 9/1/2025)
In addition to the IVF subsidy, the government is also extending support to cancer patients through the “Pilot Medical Fertility Preservation Subsidy Program” (effective September 1, 2025):
Eligibility:
Taiwan nationals aged 18–40 diagnosed with breast cancer or hematologic cancers
Subsidy Amounts:
Women: Up to NTD 70,000 per egg retrieval cycle
Men: Up to NTD 8,000 per sperm retrieval and preservation procedure
Subsidy Limit:
Up to 2 times per person in a lifetime
It is estimated that 600 cancer patients will benefit in the first year.
This subsidy ensures that patients undergoing cancer treatment can still preserve their hope for future parenthood.
📌 Note: According to the Health Promotion Administration (HPA), due to the urgency of medical treatment and the time-sensitive nature of fertility preservation, procedures under the Medical Fertility Preservation Subsidy must be performed at institutions that are:
Contracted assisted reproductive centers approved by the HPA, and accredited hospitals for cancer treatment quality certification.
👉 For detailed regulations and the list of eligible hospitals and institutions, please refer to the Health Promotion Administration’s official information on the Medical Fertility Preservation Subsidy.
Three Fertility Support Programs: Expanded Childbirth Subsidy — NTD 100,000 per Child (Starting 1/1/2026)
To address the declining birth rate, the government has introduced the “Three Fertility Support Programs,” including an expanded childbirth subsidy scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2026.
Eligibility:
Taiwanese national women (including foreign spouses married to Taiwanese citizens) who give birth.
Subsidy Details:
Each child is eligible for a combined total of NTD 100,000, which includes childbirth benefits plus the new childbirth subsidy.
For twins or multiple births, the amount will be increased proportionally.
Disbursement Method:
The subsidy will be issued together with Labor Insurance maternity benefits by the Bureau of Labor Insurance. No separate application is required.
Expanded Infertility IVF Subsidy Update! Old vs. New Comparison at a Glance
Since 2021, the government has implemented the “Infertility IVF Subsidy 2.0.” As of August 2025, the program has helped 26,000 couples welcome 30,000 babies.
To further reduce the financial burden on families, the government will launch the upgraded “Infertility IVF Subsidy 3.0” starting November 1, 2025.
According to statistics from the Health Promotion Administration (HPA) as of July 25, 2025, there are 104 contracted assisted reproductive institutions nationwide providing services under the program.
👉 Wondering what the differences are in the new version? Below is a clear comparison of Subsidy 2.0 vs. Subsidy 3.0, so you can quickly understand the key updates at a glance!
| Item | Subsidy 3.0 (2025/11) | Subsidy 2.0 |
| First-time subsidy amount per birth |
< 39: Up to NT$150,000 39 ~ < 45: Up to NT$130,000 |
Up to NT$100,000 |
| Amount for the second or third pregnancy |
< 39: Up to NT$100,000
39 ~ < 45: Up to NT$80,000 |
Up to NT$60,000 |
| Amount for the fourth to sixth pregnancy |
< 40 years old: Up to NT$60,000 (For those aged 40 to 45, subsidies are only provided for the first three times) |
< 40 years old: Up to NT$60,000 |
| Low-income and lower-middle-income households |
Up to NT$150,000 |
Up to NT$150,000 |
| Medical fertility preservation subsidy |
Patients with breast cancer or blood cancer can apply
|
None |
📌 Important Reminder:
The number of subsidy cycles is recalculated based on the number of live births achieved with subsidy support. If the first child is successfully delivered, the second and third child may still apply for the IVF Subsidy 3.0 again, based on the applicant’s age at the time of the new application.
💡 Example:
If Ms. A was 38 years old when applying for the first subsidy cycle for her first child, but had turned 39 when applying for the second cycle for the same pregnancy, the maximum subsidy for that second cycle would be NTD 100,000 (calculated based on her age being under 39 at the time of the first application for that pregnancy).
📌 The table provided lists the maximum subsidy amount per pregnancy and per treatment cycle. The actual subsidy granted will be determined according to the individual’s treatment plan and verified medical expenses.
⚠️ For detailed regulations and official subsidy terms, please refer to the government’s formal announcements and official documentation.
Prospective Patients & Qualifications
IVF Subsidy Qualifications
- One of the spouses must be of Taiwanese citizenship
- The wife must be under 45 years old
- Married couples who have been diagnosed with infertility at reproductive institutions, and would need to undergo IVF treatment.
How Are IVF Subsidy Cycles Calculated? It Depends on Age
To encourage earlier access to assisted reproduction, the government’s IVF Subsidy 3.0 lowers the eligible age threshold and sets different maximum application cycles per pregnancy based on age group.
| Women's Age | Number of times a subsidy be applied for per birth |
| < 40 years old |
Up to 6 times |
| 40 ~ < 45 years old |
Up to 3 times |
📌 Reminder:
The number of subsidy cycles is calculated based on the number of live births achieved with subsidy support. This means that if the first treatment successfully results in childbirth, you may reapply for a second child based on your age at that time.
💡 Example 1:
Ms. B began IVF treatment in February 2026 at age 38.
At that time, the maximum number of subsidy cycles per pregnancy was 6 cycles.
If she decides to have a second child after turning 40, the maximum number of subsidy cycles would then be adjusted to 3 cycles, based on her new age group.
💡 Example 2:
Ms. C was 39 years old when applying for the first subsidy cycle for her first child.
If she turned 40 when applying for the second cycle for the same pregnancy, she would still be eligible for up to 6 total cycles for that pregnancy (including the first application at age 39).
In other words, after turning 40, she could still receive subsidies for up to 5 additional cycles, reaching the total maximum of 6 for that pregnancy.
4 Steps For IVF Treatment
How does the application for the program work? Below are 4 steps that will guide you to receiving the treatment and applying for the program.
STEP 1. Make an appointment at an official reproductive institution
Couples who are diagnosed with infertility would need to consult with a specialist from a reproductive institution from Taiwan’s HPA.
STEP 2. The institution will file your application online
After verifying that the couple is eligible for the subsidy, the institution will apply for you online.
STEP 3. Treatment must begin within a year of qualifying
Once the subsidy amount and qualifications are confirmed, couples must begin treatment within a year.
STEP 4. An appointed specialist from the institution will assist you in applying for the subsidy
Once the treatment is completed, institutions will apply online for the subsidy within 6 months. Once everything is verified, the subsidy amount will be directly wired to the recipient’s designated bank account.
Q&A
Q1: When will I receive the subsidy?
Once the application is completed, you will be able to receive the subsidy amount after a month. If you want to understand the details, you can check your status by entering the wife’s ID and your designated serial number through “IVF Subsidy Program Status Update.”
Q2: If I freeze my eggs before the program, and will need to thaw then inseminate the egg, how much will the subsidy amount be?
As this treatment only involves “implantation,” the subsidy will only cover the embryo implantation. For first-time applicants, the subsidy amount will be NT$30k; for return applicants, the subsidy amount will be NT$20k.
Q3: Is this subsidy program only applicable for the first pregnancy?
There’s no restriction as to being only applicable for the first pregnancy! As long as you qualify for the subsidy, you can apply.
Q4: What are some of the reproductive institutions the program works with?
As listed on Taiwan’s HPA’s website, 100 reproductive clinics are cooperating as of March 5th, 2024.
